An approach to compare genome tiling microarray and MPSS sequencing data for transcript mapping

Abstract Background: There are two main technologies for transcriptome profiling, namely, tiling microarrays and high-throughput sequencing. Recently there has been a tremendous amount of excitement about the latter because of the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies and its promises. Consequently, … Continue reading

Linear coupled component automata for MILP modeling of hybrid systems

Abstract We first introduce a novel modeling framework, called linear coupled component automata (LCCA), to facilitate the modeling of discrete-continuous dynamical systems with piecewise constant derivatives. Second, we provide a procedure for transforming models in this framework to mixed-integer linear … Continue reading

Dissertation: Logical Modeling Frameworks for the Optimization of Discrete-Continuous Systems

Abstract Often, it is very difficult to pose a model for a system even after the system is conceptually understood. The reason is the mathematical languages we employ have few forms of expression. We define more expressive languages, first for … Continue reading

Milner on the science of the artificial

“Probably what [physicists] mean is: [computer science] can’t be a science because we are always making things. What are we doing science of? We are doing the science of our own constructions. But I think the boundary between understanding one’s … Continue reading
